Maybe wireless for getting onto the net at BT hotspots (that's who get my internet access with.) Maybe bluetooth for my phone. Just kicking ideas around until it arrives.
Sounds good Do you have a link for the keyboard with touch pad? Would be interested to see that

The latest radioguy dd with Android will get you Internet and be able to play films etc. I have a non Android Radioguy unit in my car and will use the pc for the rear screen. The cost of this Raspberry Pi is only around £20 and within reason you can install what you want on it.

I have a radioguy dd unit, which I was just going to plug the video out of the Pi into the av in on the dd unit. However, I have just bought a rear roof mount DVD screen and headphones. It has 2 video in plugs, so I am going to connect one of these to the Rasberry Pi, and one to the dd unit. The Pi will probably live in the glovebox with a USB Bluetooth adaptor plugged into it. A standard 12v to 5v USB adaptor will power the Pi. I will use a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse or similar to operate it. I'll install a media program (xbmc or similar) onto it and have films etc loaded onto a USB stick or drive.
That's my plans Hopefully it'll work

Try here for a Pi box to cut out, i actually just received mine 2 days ago also, same as you waiting 6 weeks
